This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]225507[/split]
This thread is for those who are already buying 4-5 key pieces per season, or would like to start, as discussed in The 4-5 piece French wardrobe thread, http://forums.thefashionspot.com/showpost.php?p=10063835&postcount=1
The idea here is to
Let the games begin ...
PS I do have a Pinterest board ready. I have pretty much finished my shopping for fall, and will start thinking about spring shortly. What I would really like to find, though, is a leopard print cardigan, preferably not wool as it's not very practical for my climate. I prefer cotton, silk, or a cashmere blend, something like that.
My coloring is similar to my avatar, chestnut hair, brown eyes, and my shape is curvy but not hourglass.
As far as price point ... I try to keep it under $1000/piece, but am willing to spend more for something very special. I used to be able to get good quality casual pants for less than $100, but I can't always do that now that my go-to brand has become unreliable. Ts and knit tops, I'm looking for something under or slightly over the $100 mark. Other tops and sweaters I will buy in this range, up to the limit mentioned above, depending on detail level, materials, label, etc. Shoes, I typically want to spend at least $250+ (or I want the retail to be that, I'm open to spending less
), because I find that below that, the shoes don't last the way I want them to, and the quality materials and construction aren't there. Bags, $1500 or less ideally. Willing to spend a bit more for what I really want.

The idea here is to
- Create a Pinterest board illustrating your personal style--things you own, style icons, inspirations, color schemes, favorite designers/labels, etc. You can link to it here, or PM it to people who will be creating shopping lists for you.
- Specify the pieces you would like to find for the upcoming season, including price range and other criteria
- Specify your body type and coloring

). I would also like to have a black clutch, but it's not so necessary. 
Although changing the sheets is quite difficult on your own...

I ended up giving the dress to good-will. You can't undo damage like that... I think I will hold on to the trousers, though. Might find a better seamstress sometime in the future. I am not sure if having them taken in will be easy, either. They would have to take the entire hip/waist area in by two inches
